Short stay on budge
Hotel itself was decent for the price. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was pretty good. In a good location with a McDonald's across the street and a park about a 3 minute walk away.

This is my first time at this hotel. I was surprised at how friendly they are and that, though it's an inexpensive hotel, they provide breakfast (scrambled eggs and toast or rice cakes) included with the room. Unlike others in this price range, they also provide daily housekeeping.

Check in was a nightmare, booked and paid on Expedia and on arrival was told that they have not received the payment even though I showed them the confirmation email and on my bank app that the transaction was being processed, so I had to Pay again. I did eventually get my money refunded but after a few heated discussions.

Not as pictured, not as priced
I've stayed in a lot of budget hotels and hostels overseas. This one was by far the most disappointing. The room looked like it had been neglected for decades. There were no lights over the bed, though the wires were there coming out of the wall. The AC worked, but the control knobs did not . . . so on was all you got. There was no shower head (but there was hot water, so that's a plus). The lock on the door was loose, so I could shift it around with my hand. That said, the staff was friendly and helpful. The $2 airport shuttle ride was a success and much cheaper than a $30 taxi. Expedia offered this room at one price, but somewhere in the process of booking, the price went up $3 . . . that's not much, but it was disappointing to think I was getting it for one price and it turned out to be something different.

Roaches and mosquitos
We were sorrounded by roaches. I got bite by mosquitos while I was asleep. The airport transportation was only included to go to the hotel, we had to pay to go back to the airport. That it was not listed on the hotel info.

Great option Overall
After read some reviews from previous guests, which were "average" I decided to book it. I was so impressive because anything what people wrote is all true. The lobby, the room, bath everything was cleaned/in order. In fact is located in a good zone, even the metro is located 200 mts from it. I am really pleased have booked it.

The front desk person was not helpful at all in helping me find public transport to get around
The room was sparse and resembled a one-star hotel. There was no hot water so I showered with cold water albeit the weather was hot. The bed was soft and with my movements, the bed moved away from the wall. It was lightweight in other words, unlike the beds back home where it was firmly secured. The hotel's free shuttle came early. It was supposed to come at 11:00 so I went to breakfast next door at the other hotel because mine did not have a restaurant. I got back at 10:55 and the shuttle came and left without me. The next shuttle would make me miss my flight. So I had to go back to the hotel next door where I had breakfast and take their shuttle for US$15.

Hotel Discovery in Panama City Panama
We stayed at this hotel in April 2010 just prior to a cruise leaving from Panama. This hotel was nothing like what was represented on the web site. I have to say it is absolutely the worst hotel I have ever been it. It is a dump !!!! The room was very small, dark and musty smelling. The airconditioner did not work correctly, there was styrofoam stuffed into the walls around the airconditioner. The bed was as hard as table and there were no covers on the bed. The door did not secure very well. It was not a good feeling to be in such a bad neighborhood and not have good locks on the door. Also the web site stated that there was shuttles from the airport, there was not. There was no where close to have anything to eat. The staff at the front desk argued with us about the transfers or lack thereof. I can not stress how bad this place was. Again it was the worst experience, if it had not been 1030 pm when arrived we would have found somewhere else to stay the night, Thank God we only spent one night there.

Very Sub-standand Hotel, But Free Airport Shuttle and Helpful Front
The room was not the worst I have been in, but with no windows and very moldy smelling odor, it was substandard to say the least. On the other hand, the airport shuttle service saved me 40 bucks roundtrip and the front desk personnel did the best they could and seems to actually care.

Falta Poco para que mi hijo regrese en principio de Agosto. Os pido por favor que os cambiéis la habitación donde no escuche tanto ruido. La habitación que tiene está cerca de la recepción y se escucha todo. Quería también saber que sucede con el aire acondicionado? Muchas gracias por estar por vuestra comprensión.
